exam excellence at Tabby Road Studios
George Collins from Thorney
village attained excellent marks
in the Trinity drum kit exams on 20th
April 2015, hosted at Tabby Road
Music School.
He was one of eleven candidates
to achieve an incredible total of six
Distinctions and five Merits!
Phil and Jane at Tabby Road would
like to congratulate all their pupils
on their consistent high standard of
playing!
Well done all - next event is
TABBYFEST on Sat 22nd August.
Mr Jim Porter of Marton
I hope you all heard the applause at
Marton Chapel about 4.30pm on
Sunday April 19th.
Mr Jim Porter our chapel treasurer,
treasure and popular friend was
90-years-young that day and a
birthday tea had been arranged by
chapel members for Jim’s family and
friends.
Jim is a very well-known man having
always lived and worked in the area,
we had to limit the party numbers to
60 but many more sent best wishes
and cards.
After tea there were numerous
congratulations for Jim including
special poems, readings and solos. A
handmade card and cake depicting
Jim’s interests, plus a large portrait
were greatly admired. The party
closed with everybody singing Jim’s
favourite hymn “When I Survey
the Wondrous Cross”. There are
eight crosses in Marton Chapel all
handcrafted by Jim.
Many generous donations have
enabled Jim to choose a teak garden
seat. We all hope he will find the time
to sit on it!
A Thank You fromMr Porter
Thank you…two small words that
seem so inadequate to say for
the wonderful garden seat, tea, and
fellowship at the party for my 90th
birthday. Thanks to all who donated
and attended. Special thanks to Mrs
K and helpers for all the hard work
and for all my cards.
God Bless
Jim

As you will be aware from the
last edition, Torksey Play Area
officially opened on Saturday the
18th of April. The weather was very
good, with brilliant sunshine, which
encouraged many to wear their
shorts and T-shirts. Following many
months of fundraising as well as
going through the planning process,
phase one of the project received
a great welcome from Torksey
residents and those neighbouring
villagers who came to support the
project.
Children entered into the games
(obstacle race; egg & spoon; wellie
wanging etc) enthusiastically, with
parents, grandparents and friends all
cheering them on – certificates being
awarded to the first three children in
each event. At the end of the day all
the children received a medallion on a
ribbon to commemorate the opening
of the play area.
Even the adults could not resist
participating in the wellie wanging,
with some impressive distances
being achieved by both mums and
dads, although it was the ‘minus’
throw – the wellie went backwards –
which received the biggest cheer!
During the afternoon a presentation
- the Freedom of the Parish – was
made to John Kinch, acknowledging
his many years of service to the
parish.
The afternoon concluded with a hog
roast for all.
It was a very successful day which all
seemed to enjoy and we raised £280
in the process!
Phase 2 of the project is now under
way, the aim being to purchase a
basket swing, particularly suitable
for children with a disability; cradle
swings for the very young; swings
and slide. Fundraising has already
started. Additionally, a villager has
volunteered to dedicate his Iron Man
event, to be held in Sweden in August,
to raise funds for the play area. If you
would like to make a donation, no
matter how small, it would be greatly
appreciated and can be made via
Roger Pilgrim, Parish Clerk, on 01427
718388 or email

unable to go to.
Clients can also purchase tickets for family members, carers and friends to accompany them and make the trip perfect for their day out.
Even our clients who don’t use a wheelchair can book to come on the trips as our minibuses are flexible to add or remove seats as required for ambulant passengers. Our trips set out on Saturdays throughout the
year and will pick you up and drop you straight outside your home.

Andrew Tysoe who works for the DialaRide and is a wheelchair user says ‘ This a great opportunity for disabled people to be able to use accessible and affordable community transport to visit great places
of interest in the UK. Being driven by fully trained and considerate volunteers our service helps reduce isolation caused by lack of suitable transport and is a real feather in the cap for Lincoln and its surrounding
area’.
If you struggle to use public transport due to age and/or disability and live within 6 miles of Lincoln city centre you can register with us for only £10 per year. Once registered, in addition the Days Out Trips you
